DevOps offers the promise of faster time to market with improved quality and security. But many companies do not understand the DevOps approach. They focus on tools and technical practices instead of establishing clear improvement goals and creating a culture of collaborative problem solving. They don’t get the results they were hoping to get. The DevOps Value Stream workshop addresses this challenge by bringing a cross-functional group into a collaborative workshop to focus on the needs of a specific product or group of products.
